Misan Harriman Makes His Mark As An Oscar-Nominated Director, Six Years After Picking Up A Camera For The First Time


Misan Harriman makes his mark as an A-list photographer and Oscar-nominated director only six years after picking up a camera for the first time.

He describes Home Alone, of all things, as “more than entertainment for troubled kids like me,” and will share his connection to the classic movie’s study of “trauma response” and the way it, and films like it, saved him. By the time the then-editor of British Vogue, Edward Enninful, chose to use the magazine’s landmark September issue to celebrate activism, Harriman had become the only choice to photograph cover stars like Marcus Rashford and Adwoa Aboah. There isn’t a celebrity now who wouldn’t want Harriman to take their portrait, and he’s photographed many, including Angelina Jolie, Danielle Brooks, Salma Hayek Pinault, Spike Lee and Harrison Ford.
